DONOR FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP ON FACEBOOK

The CDT Donor Family Support Network is a private Facebook group that has been created for the purpose of connecting donor families to one another, providing members with a community of grief support and a trusted avenue to share thoughts, stories, and feelings. 


It is our hope that members will be inspired to share stories about loved ones, ask for advice and support from the community, and provide hope and support to others’ grief journeys.
